Hatch, in Tisbury (Hundred of Chalk). Here was a chapel of 

 which some remains are said to exist-: but it had not been in 

 use since the Reformation. 



Heytesbury, (Hundred of Heytesbury.) There is a little un- 

 certainty about the actual number and sites of the chantry 

 chapels formerly in the parish church. Two are mentioned 

 in the Registers of the Dean of Sarum, and both as in the 

 south part of the church, St. Mary's, and St. Katharine's 

 founded by one William Mounte. About A.D. 1300, a chantry 

 at the altar of St. Mary in the south part had been founded 

 by Lucy Clyfton, widow of Gaudinus de Albo Monasterio, of 

 which we have the names of seven successive chaplains. This 

 appears to have been the one that came into the possession of 

 the Hungerfords, who first presented in 1408. In 1442, to 

 augment its income, Walter Lord Hungerford united the 

 chantries of Upton Scudamore, and Calne, and the Free 

 Chapel of Corston (now Corton), in Hilmerton. 



There has been in Heytesbury church, as it has existed for 

 many years past, no indication or mark of the Hungerfords 

 on the south part ; but as it has lately been discovered that 

 there were originally aisles to the chancel, both north and 

 south, possibly their St. Mary's chantry may have been in the 

 south chancel aisle. 



The only existing marks of the Hungerford family are on 

 the north side of the church. The north transept was cer- 

 tainly used by them as a burying place : and apparently as a 

 chantry chapel. This transept is parted off by a perpendicular 

 screen of stone work : upon which is their usual device of 

 three sickles conjoined. And in a very recent excavation 

 (1866) of the floor of this transept, have been found the 

 remains of an altar tomb of Purbeck marble, bearing the same 

 device, and their coat of arms. In February, 1867, the repairs 

 in this part of the church going on, the remains of a second 

 tomb of Purbeck marble were found in the north wall of this 

 transept : of a somewhat different pattern from the other and 

 without arms, or device. Their chantry of St. Mary's, being
